North Dakota is full of hidden and not-so-hidden gems of the physical or abstract nature. The awe-striking beauty of the Badlands and the financial opportunities – oil, coal and wind – of the Bakken landscape and beyond have been well documented in history. But the more abstract ideas of bettering communities and the quality of life for North Dakota residents through education and hands-on experiences, both domestically and internationally, have just begun to snowball within the past two decades. Programs on the individual, community, state and federal levels are being created and funded with the intent to better the lives of people and the communities they live in by promoting expanded cultural and artistic interests, offering job training services and encouraging more direct involvement and understanding of the industry, community and government issues that affect the individual and the state.
